I guess I've been corrupted to the dark side. ### now with video links ###

I was doing some shady undercover business yesterday far from home, clearing two CZ's with CMDR Kari Kerenski.
After we've been finished, on the way to repair/rearm I noticed a clean CMDR with a KWS in supercruise.
KWS for me means he's a bounty hunter, which was diametrally opposed to our goals

So for the first time in my entire Elite playtime, I pulled an enemy clean CMDR with the clear intend to kill him.

Thanks to my full FdL PA loadout (5 of them for training purposes), I wasn't able to kill the enemy CMDR before he low-waked.
After following him in the nearby nav-beacon, the inevitable happened, he combat logged
He was in a Vulture and Inara stated him having 5.3 Billion in assets.
Why the hell did you log, CMDR???
Take the rebuy, or make me rebuy mine, but what? Wat? Seriously? 5.3 billion assets and you won't take a Vulture rebuy?

But I digress...

Do I have to feel bad now for trying to murder another CMDR in cold blood, to further my own goals?
I confess, it felt good. A new, intense rush of adrenaline, I can see now why so many people choose this path.

Oh, and I feel bad.
About my abysmal PA aim. If I had my multigimbal outfit, that Vulture would have exploded sigh

A KWS doesn't always mean a good guy. They could have been failing people's VIP passenger missions and baiting them into getting bounties if they retaliate. You probably did the galaxy a public service.

Been off the video game kick lately, Maec, but I logged in just to tell you how proud I am of you.

And no, you shouldn't feel bad. KWS is tool for detecting and killing criminals, and when you're playing a criminal (even in PvE), another CMDR having a KWS is a perfectly valid reason for you to turn them into space dust.

I've pulled clean CMDRs with the intention to kill them but alas I failed each time (they deserved it). IMO, the line hasn't been crossed yet. Talk to us for absolution when you start killing noobs that don't know how to fight back or escape.

No absolutely not man. You made the right call. Personally I have tried the diplomatic approach with some people, explaining what they are doing is countermanding my efforts in the system. Most tell me to get lost and throw some expletives my way.

Sometimes your hand is forced. At first you wonder, Did I make the right call here? Could have it been done differently?
It's up to you in the end to decide for yourself.

It's too bad he logged. Most do even though they have billions in assets. There is something about losing a ship in Elite that makes people take it personally. I've been there.

I'm thinking of becoming a seal-clubbing griefer myself. I won't be shaking you down for cargo. No, I'll be shaking you down for votes. You want to fly unharassed in my space? Go vote on all the bugs I submit to this new "we'll fix it based on popularity" bug reporting system, and I'll let you live. Heck, I might even give you a couple tons of Painite. Don't vote, and I'll give you a couple tons of PAIN!

You are a bad person in real life.
You are a person who thinks that hurting children is okay, that famine is a good thing, and that non-dairy creamer is acceptable.
You probably don't think much of yourself IRL, probably got bullied as a kid, and your wife thinks you're weak and not manly enough to satisfy her.
You like to crush jingle-bells at Christmas and you put unwashed clothing into the Goodwill donation bins.
